Eat to Ease Consumption:

Glass Wood Decking

TimberSIL deck wood

Why It's Good:

Having great potential to revolutionize the wood industry, TimberSIL looks, feels and works like real wood, because it is, but an infusion of glass makes it stronger, more durable, and a fire retardant. It can be painted or stained to satisfy design needs and even on hot, sunny days, stays cool under bare feet. Its lifespan is guaranteed for 40 years.

Why It's Green:

TimberSIL is completely non-toxic, releases minimal pollutants, and has a non-toxic barrier to common wood problems, repelling bugs without harm to them or the environment. It requires very low maintenance, further reducing TimberSIL's already minimal impact on the environment. The production process for TimberSIL is also environmentally friendly, using no fossil fuels and generating no toxic waste.
